South End Open Market, Boston

This past Sunday I shared a booth with a fellow Etsy shop, Moderncard, at the South End Open Market in Boston. It was my first show and I had a great experience. A lot of work went into the preparations for it especially since I decided to make my own sign. I thought it would be a great idea to make it look like the tags on my items. With that in mind I began the design stage and searched around for some supplies. The first step was picking a size and getting the materials. I designed the shape myself using a 3D modeling software program I use for work. I generated the file and sent it to the shop to be cut on a special machine. I was so happy when it came back! Next was the paint process.
I do not have a lot of experience with painting so I had a lot help with this stage. We painted 2 coats of primer over the entire sign, then 2 coats of the pink center and off-white edge. Once those were dry, the brown ring was added and then the lettering. In the end, I didn't have enough time to add the "B Y MMC" so I printed it out and stuck it on!

Sunday turned out to be a beautiful October day and we had lots of visitors to our tent. Here are some photos I took-

The Priscilla Scarf

I am so happy to introduce this new scarf collection to my shop. The Priscilla Scarf is a gorgeous combination of 3 different yarns wound together and then hand knit in a garter stitch using #17 needles. The yarns are from Ironstone Yarns and features Eyelash, Felicia and Paris Nights all wound together. Yarn materials are a cotton boucle, a metallic, and the eyelash. My mom, Priscilla, introduced me to this yarn combination a few years ago and every time I knit a scarf using these yarns I think of her.

VERMONT

Vermont in the Autumn is always so beautiful-

Looking across Lake Champlain to the Adirondack Mountains in New York

I drove up to Vermont last weekend to visit my old college town and some friends who are still living there. Although the weather was not the most clear (until the day we left) it was still a great trip. Just driving around campus and Burlington brought back so many good memories.

Early morning hike at Camels Hump was an adventure and unfortunately it was so foggy we didn't have the amazing views we had hoped for. I also had hoped to meet my old roommate's newest baby while visiting but that didn't happen either! She was expecting her second child last week and delivered a healthy baby girl today. I can't wait to meet Olivia!

Custom Order

My first custom order was for 2 sets of potholders in red and green holiday colors. The buyer contacted me in August in regards to making these potholders to go along with some scones she will be baking to give out at Christmas time. I was so excited but it was so hard to think about Christmas in August! I picked out these great colors in 100% cotton from Suss Designs cotton collection. When the yarn arrived they colors just looked awesome. I knit my 6 potholders, 2 sets of 3 and off in the mail they went. My buyer loved them when they arrived and I hope that her gifts are well received come Christmas.

Tagged!

Becky from Beckykay Designs tagged me on Monday. Here are the rules:
1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts. 2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. 3. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag.
Ok, I have 8 letters in my middle name and 3 L's so bare with me! It's not a common name and often don't like to tell people what it is. My mother gave us all our first names and my dad picked the middle names so I got his mother's maiden name.

Baby Shower Time

I am hosting a baby shower for my sister this coming weekend. Her first child was a boy, Will, who decided to enter this world 3 months early! He is now 4 years old and expecting a little sister in October. Since Will arrived early, we didn't have time to do a baby shower so I organized one this time around. I can't wait to show off some of the great ETSY products My first purcahse was this great baby onesie card set from Moderncard. Jess at moderncard is a pleasure to work with. She is super friendly, makes fabulous cards and is willing to do custom orders. My second purchase was from Rikrak, where I found the beautiful vintage quilted bibs. Again, very friendly service from rikrak. Another purchase I made was a 3-pack of baby onesies from Lemonsandlollis. I picked out this cupcake one to give to my sister. Corina was so sweet & friendly and even posted my shop on her blog. I bought a set of washcloth lollipops from Jkalea for a decorative display at the baby shower and then plan to give them to my sister and other expecting moms that will be there.

ETSY truly has some amazing products and everyday I find new sellers and new products I just love.

Sprout Bear

Sprout Bear is so soft and cuddly!
I really enjoy knitting these bears, especially since the yarn is just so soft. When I saw this green yarn I couldn't resist buying it and thought it would be perfect to knit a bear with it and name it Sprout - named for the baby girl my sister is expecting in October 2007. I have knit a few other bears, all named after some of my nieces and nephews. The bears are stuffed with non-allergenic Poly-Fil and have a ribbon tied in a bow around the neck.

Measurements: 11 1/2” tall

Variegated Throw Rugs

These hand knit throw rugs were knit in a 100% cotton yarn. Knit in a simple garter stitch with 2 strands of cotton yarn held together for extra thickness. Rugs are shown in variegated color combinations of ecru, lime green and purple; and ecru, orange and purple. The pattern came from Suss Cousins Hollywood Knits Style book. This book was given to me as a birthday gift from a friend. In return for this wonderful gift, I made the ecru, green and purple rug for her birthday. I have found many great patterns from this book as well as interesting yarns from her online yarn store. Recently, I finished my second rug shown in the color combination of ecru, orange and purple and now have it posted in my Etsy shop. These throw rugs are a great addition to any room!

Cabana Beach Tote

I had so much fun making this tote and absolutely love the way it came out. I took strips of a yellow floral fabric and knit them together in a stockinette stitch. These knit strips are what make up the outside of the bag and give it a very unique texture. The striped fabric make up the base, top edge, handles, inner lining and inside pocket. It's the perfect size for your everyday needs!
